My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 1216 - 1169: Heavenly Sovereign Suddenly Sends a Message
"Young Master, is this First Weaver, by any chance, from the [Era]?"
On the way to the Immortal Alliance Heavenly Pivot Province, Sacred Embryo Li Fan finally voiced a question that had long plagued his thoughts.

Shang Shaojun paused for a moment, seeming not at all surprised that Li Fan knew of the Immortal Alliance’s classified information related to the [Era].
He answered in a low voice, "Yes and no."
"As far as I know, the Immortal Alliance did indeed use the [Era] to train a group of Death Warriors. But those people, after all, were not born and raised in the Xuanhuang World Heaven, lacking that bit of spirituality."
"Although they all exhibited astonishing talents during the simulations of the Era, their actual performance once they arrived in the Xuanhuang World fell short by a great deal. They’re quite fitting as fearless cannon fodder, but they’re hardly suitable for major responsibilities," Shang Shaojun said, shaking his head slightly.
"However, later on, the Immortal Alliance found a way to improve. Brother Li, do you know that each Law Transmitter has their own exclusive Small World?"
Sacred Embryo Li Fan replied, "I have heard something of that."
"Each Law Transmitter contributes a portion of their Small Worlds, together forming a Primordial World. It is said to be a truly brutal and chaotic era. Every hundred years, they carry out a thorough purge of the living beings within. Only those who receive collective praise from the Transmitters over the century are spared."
"Li Brother, you must understand, the living beings in the Primordial World are either souls carefully selected from the Era or peerless geniuses from the Transmitters’ own worlds. To emerge from such an environment... you can imagine their capabilities."
Shang Shaojun spoke with a heavy tone, "The origins of the First Weaver are just like that."
"From the Era to the Primordial World, the First Weaver emerged step by step, eventually gaining the esteem of multiple Transmitters, and was remade in body with a Supreme Treasure left by the Heavenly Sovereign. Because of the deep trust he commands, he was even granted an exception to not have his memories of past experiences erased. Even though he presently holds no specific position within the Immortal Alliance, no one dares to take him lightly."
"Thus, this First Weaver truly has some legendary aspects," Sacred Embryo Li Fan mused after hearing Shang Shaojun’s introduction.
However, he then expressed doubts, "Such a figure, and we seek him out just like that... Young Master, aren’t you afraid he’ll tie us up and deliver us straight to the Transmitters?"
Shang Shaojun burst into hearty laughter, "Brother Li worries too much. Not to mention that I once had an adventure with the First Weaver, and our relationship was quite good. The reason why the First Weaver is so trusted by the Transmitters is precisely because, since his creation, the depth of his soul has been forever engraved with loyalty to the Immortal Alliance. The more experiences he accumulates and the stronger he becomes, the deeper that engraving gets."
"This is what he has said himself. He personally doesn’t mind it; instead, he considers it a great honor. Aren’t all our actions also for the sake of the Immortal Alliance? If he knew that the Immortal Alliance was secretly hiding many schemes, he would certainly not choose to ignore it. Given his nature, he might even make the trip himself to verify what we say," Shang Shaojun said with full confidence.
However, things did not proceed as smoothly as expected.
"What? The First Weaver isn’t here?"
"We had already made an appointment earlier!"
Outside the Weaver Residence, Shang Shaojun and Li Fan were stopped.
Shang Shaojun’s expression turned ugly, as the pressure of an Integration Cultivator surged in waves.
Even though the complexions of the two guards at the gate turned somewhat pale, they still managed to remain calm and explained, "Please forgive us, Lords. The master had to leave in a hurry after receiving an emergency summons from the Immortal Alliance. The situation was urgent, so there was no time for farewell..."
Shang Shaojun tried to contact the First Weaver again using the Communication Talisman, to no avail.
Exchanging a glance with Li Fan, realizing that insistence was futile, they could only snort coldly and let the matter go.
"It seems that the First Weaver isn’t intentionally avoiding us; rather, there must indeed be something urgent," Li Fan whispered."
"Hmm. I am well aware of the First Weaver’s character; he wouldn’t evade us for no reason. It’s just unknown what has happened within the Immortal Alliance. If the First Weaver has been urgently summoned, this matter is no minor issue," Shang Shaojun murmured.
With their first target missed, the two of them planned to change course and seek out Sky Rain Province Ji Hongdao instead.
Yet, unexpectedly, Ji Hongdao had also been reassigned by an official order.
The two of them looked at each other, abruptly pausing their ongoing search for someone.
"Something’s not right. Let me find someone to inquire," Shang Shaojun said with furrowed brows.
Meanwhile, Li Fan, hidden within the Immeasurable Mirror, had already quietly set things in motion.
He stealthily stole a Small Tianxuan Mirror from the Sun family and activated the Immeasurable Mirror to probe the information within.
The Alliance of Thousands of Immortals had indeed been aware of the movements for some time.
However, this result somewhat surprised Li Fan.
"The Celestial Dharma Bearer sent a message, saying that the Xuanhuang World might experience some disturbances soon, and the Immortal Alliance needs to prepare for countermeasures in advance."
"This..."
"Since its inception, the Celestial Dharma Bearer has only initiated contact a few times. The Dharma Transmitters take it extremely seriously..."
After disconnecting from the Immeasurable Mirror’s scrutiny and calming himself down, Li Fan fell into a deep contemplation.
He wasn’t sure if this event, the "Heavenly Sovereign’s Message," had ever happened in his previous reincarnations.
However, disturbances in the Xuanhuang World were definitely not something that had occurred in the many lifetimes he had experienced.
"The fact that the Celestial Dharma Bearer has specially sent a message to warn us suggests that the impending disturbance will not be trivial. If caught off guard and unprepared, it could potentially cause widespread panic."
"But since the Dharma Bearer has only sent a message and has not returned in person, it also indicates that this disturbance will not truly cause a catastrophic impact on the Xuanhuang World..."
"The predicted disturbance by the Dharma is roughly a month away. At that time, we’ll know whether it’s an event unique to this era or not."
...
On Shang Shaojun’s side, he also found out some results.
Not as detailed as the theft from TianXuan Mirror, but roughly the same.
"The entire Immortal Alliance, from top to bottom, has been mobilized. Presumably, the relevant orders will soon reach the Eternal Immortal Fortress..."
"Brother Li, what’s your take on this?"
After pondering for a moment, the Sacred Embryo Li Fan said, "The task we wish to accomplish is not a matter of one day or one night. Since the entire Xuanhuang World might soon face a crisis, we should first prepare to handle this situation."
"The Qingxuan Army cannot be left leaderless, and the Roaring Abyss may see changes again at that time. It’s best if you and I return to the Eternal Immortal Fortress first and watch as things unfold."
Li Fan’s suggestion was agreed upon by Shang Shaojun.
Therefore, the two of them hurriedly ended their journey and returned to Duan Zhang Immortal City.
Gazing at the calm and profound Roaring Abyss not far away, Sacred Embryo Li Fan once again envisioned the figure that had previously appeared at the bottom of the Roaring Abyss.
"Perhaps, the peculiarities of this era are related to these small actions of mine?"
Li Fan slightly furrowed his brow, somewhat puzzled.
